VIILLIAM NELSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, T0 CON- SOLIDATED AMERICAN FASTENER COMPANIES, ING, OF NEW YORK, N. '21, A COR- PORATION OF NEW YORK.

MACHINE FOR MAKING THE SOCKET MEMBERS OF SNAP BUTTONS.

Application filed October 7, 1916. Serial No. 124,366.

To all whom it may. concern:

Be it known that I, VILLIAM NnL-soN, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making the Socket Members of Snap Buttons, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the manufacture I of one of the parts of the well known snap fastener or press button, which consists of two members, namely, a stud and a socket. The invention is directed to the provision of an improved form of mechanism for mak ing socket members for such snap fasteners. More specifically the invention relates to a machine for making socket members for snap fasteners of the type disclosed in an application for patent filed by myself and Villiam C. Huguley on September 22, 1916, and serially numbered 121,647. v

The socket member consists of a concavoconvex body portion having a peripheral edge which is turned inwards and a central hollow portion properly shaped to form a socket for the stud. A spring mounted with in the body portion is held by the turned edgethereof and has two parallel arms extending through slots in the central part of the socket which are held in such position as to engage the studs when the latter enters the socket. This general form of press button or snap fastener is now well known and very extensively used.

The new machine constructed in accordance with my invention produces the concavo-conveX body portion of the fastener by mechanism substantially the same as that shown in the application for patent filed by myself and lVilliam C. Huguley, above mentionedbut the mechanism for forming the wire springs and for inserting them. in the sockets is entirely different.

Briefly stated the machine comprises mechanism which is adapted to first progressively form a hollow projection on the stock which is subsequently slotted to receive the arms. of the spring catch, and after this, that part of the stock between the projections is punched out in order to facilitate the subsequent drawing operations. The stock is then bent to form a depression in the metal for the body portion of the socket which is next pierced to provide thread holes and is then shaped and has the'initials of the manufacturer applied. After this the previously formed spring is inserted and finally the socket member is cut orblanked out from the stock and the peripheral edge 15 turned over the outer part or body of the spring.

The springs are formed from wire of indefinite length which is fed through straightening rolls to wire-bending devices which give shape to the spring, and novel mechanism is employed-for feeding the springs to a suitable spring holder from which they are delivered one by one to the socket member of the fastener and made to engage therewith. These operations are so performed and sotimed that a single socket with an inserted spring is completed by a single revolution of the actuating shaft, the different operations being simultaneously performed on different parts of the stock which is fed forward step-by-ste-p so that the socket may be gradually produced without defects and without undue strain on the stock or the metal forming the socket member of the fastener.

In the accompanying drawings.

The main frame of the machine may be of any suitable kind. It com-prisesa lower part Z and an upper part Z. Z indicates mechanism, for; raising and: lowering the upper dies;

The end ifthe machine where the; stock enters is the left-hand end. Figure 1 is a perspeetiveview looking mainly at the front of the machine.

Two sets of mechanisms are employed, one for forming the buttons and the other for forming the springs. The. button. forming mechanism is at the rear of the machine and the spring forming mechanism at the front thereof. V

' The stock in. the f'ormof a metalst rip or ribbon X is passed through the guide A and between the upper and lower dies and punches to a stock. feeder B which is operated to pull the stock through themac-hine between the dies.

The upper dies are supported: by an upper die carrier D and the lower dies are fixed to the bed plate E. The upper die carrier is formed with sockets or hollow bosses F, through which extend postsF rising from the bedplate E. These posts serve to guide the die carrier while being; raised and lowered.

From. the guide A the stock passes; to a device C which progressively notches orcuts out from the metal" a small part of the edge portion of the strip to form a shoulder which engages a part of the device and limits the The stock is nextjoperated upon byupper and lower dies G, G" to' draw" the metal in such manner as to gradually formzaprojection on the stock which is subsequently shaped to form the socket part of the button. r

' After the projectionis made on: the stock, the next step in the process is. to out slots in the projection for receiving the parallel arms of the spring catch. This is. done by the mechanism indicated at H, H.

All of the mechanism just. described": and some of the mechanism subsequently described is substantially the. same as. that shown in the Huguley' and Nelson application above referred to and is therefore only referred to in a general way.

The next operation isto cut out the metal between theprojections of the stock in order to relieve it of strain and. to facilitate the drawing operations. This is done by the diesl, II.

The studq-eceiving socket part of the button is now complete. After this the stock is. depressed to form the body portion of the button. This is accomplished by the next set of dies J J.

The parts marked :17 in the drawings .are. merely depressions in the-dies to prevent the projections on the stock from being crushed when the stock is fed without advancing the projections from one set of dies to another.

In order to form thread holes in the body of the button metal piercing dies are em ployed] These consist of two members K and K constructed and operated in the manner described in the Huguley and Nelson application. After the thread holes are formed the metal is operated upon by dies L, L which give a concavo-convex shape to the depressed portion. The dies may be and preferably are so formed that they will emboss the convex side of the depression and will also apply the initials of the manufact-urer thereto.

The button is now ready to receive the spring catch, the process of the construction of which will be hereinafter described. For the present it may be stated that as fast as the springs are formed they are delivered to a spring holder M and are transferred therefrom to the buttons.

After the springs are inserted the button is cut from the stock and is delivered from the machine while the stock passes through a guide N to the stock feeding mechanism B which is operated to advance the stock step by step between the dies.

The stock feeding mechanism comprises a lower lever b pivoted at b to a block 6 on the bed plate E and is formed with a bifurcated laterally projecting arm Z2 having a jaw which cooperates with a jaw 6 on the upper lever B which is pivoted at b to the lever Z). The lever B carries a roller 7) operating in a slot 12 in a cam plate B attached to the upper die carrier- A set screw B carried by a bar B is employed for adjusting and regulating the feed. 13 indicates spring brakes for restraining the movement of the lever I), thus insuring the proper movement of the lever B.

Before describing how the spring catches are inserted in the button the manner in which these catches are produced will be explained.

The wire a for the springs is fed to rollers O, O which remove all kinks and bends in the wire. From the straightening rolls the wire passes to the wire feeding devices P which are operated to feed the w1r e step by step to the mechanism which cuts it into suitable lengths and bends the cut off portions into springs. The straightening devices and the wire feeding devices are similar to those shown in the application of Huguley and Nelson before referred to.

The wire passes from the feeding mechanism through a pipe guide 1" over a mandrel or arbor R around which the wire is bent. This arbor comprises a body portion the lower end r of which extends into a socket R which is attached to the frame in the manner indicated in Figure 12. The wire is cut off and bent around the arbor it by two slides, a rear slide S and a front slide S. The rear slide S comprises an upper portion 8 having a downwardly extending portion 5- (Fig. 12) from which extends forwardly an arm 8 which is pivotally connected at s with a lever 3* pivoted to the frame of the machine at s.

The rear slide is actuated by a cam 25 on the shaft T, which shaft, as shown in Fig. 2, extends to the left-hand end of the machine and is provided with a sprocket wheel 25 connected by a chain 25 (Fig. 1) and a sprocket wheel t to the shaft Z of the actuating mechanism Z A spring 6 draws the rear slide in one direction while the cam t moves it in the opposite direction.

The shaft T is provided with a cam t which actuates the wire feeding mechanism, and'said shaft T is provided with a hand wheel T (Fig. 11) by which it may be turned or adjusted.

The front slide S is adapted to slide in suitable guides and it is actuated by a lever .9 pivoted at s to the frame and also pivotally connected at .9 with a link s which is slotted as indicated at 8 where it embraces the shaft T. The link 8 carries a roller 8 which is engaged at times by a cam .9 on the shaft T. The arm 8 carries pins 3 which enter the slots 8 in the frame of the machine and the construction is such that as the rear slide moves forwards it rises and as it moves rearwards it is de pressed. The front slide is moved in one direction by the spring .9 and in the opposite direction by the cam The arm 8 enters recesses in the sides of the arbor and as the rear slide is raised and lowered the arbor is correspondingly lifted and depressed.

The rear slide, as shown in Fig. 16, has a cutting edge at a which cooperates with another cutting edge to sever the wire 2 into suitable lengths to form spring catches. Said rear slide is also properly shaped at a (Fig. 16) to bend the wire around the arhor R to the form shown in Fig. 18.

The front slide S is formed with an end 1) which is recessed and is adapted to engage the ends of the wire when they are in the condition shown in Fig. 20. Before the wire is bent to'this condition. however, it is operated upon by horizontally arranged levers V which are pivoted at o to the frame of the machine and their working ends are normally drawn apart by a spring '0 The front slide is provided with a cam .41 so shaped as to engage rollers o on the levers V and cause the working ends of these levers to approach each other in the manner indicated in Fig. 20 and to thus bend the wire from the shape shown in Fig. 18 to that shown in F 20.

After the wire is thus bent the levers V open in the manner indicated in Fig. 22 and the recessed end 4) of the front slide moves to the position shown-in Fig. 22, and then to the position shown in Fig. 24, giving to the spring catch the proper shape.

\Vhen the wire is bent to the position shown in Fig. 20 its outer ends abut against a stop '0 which prevents them from overlapping. i

'The front slide is connected with alever WV which is pivotally mounted at w and is connected by a link a with a lever 10 carrying a roller to engaging a cam Vi on the shaft T. The lever Wis drawn in one direction by a spring but is operated in the other direction by the cam. It will be observed that the lever is a long one and gives a long movement to the'front .slide. After the wire has been bent to proper shape, as indicated in Fig. 24, the front slide advances, the rear slide having been in the meantime withdrawn from the arbor and lowered, and the arbor having been also lowered. The front slide continues to move until it has inserted the spring catch in the spring holder or nest M before referred to.

It is observed that the nest M isv open at one side'to receive the formed spring held by the slide, and the mouth or open end of this nest is narrower than the breadth of the spring in its position in the slide. Therefore, when the slide moves so as to cause the spring held thereby to enter the nest, the said spring will snap into the groove in the nest. On withdrawal of the slide the spring is left in the nest.

After a spring has been inserted in the nest the upper die carrier descends and the spring-pressed plunger (Z operates upon the nest to depress it. It will be observed by reference to Fig. 12 that the nest is pivotally mounted at m and it is normally pressed upwards by a spring m. The spring plunger (Z causesthenest to be depressed upon the stock below the nest. The plungers L and L operate to remove the spring catch from the nest and insert it in a socket piece carried. by the stock. The plungers LT, 1L cooperate with an anvil L immediately below the nest.

The operation of inserting the spring catches in the sockets is. similar to that shown anddescribed in the application of Huguley and Nelson "before referred to. After a spring catch hasbeen inserted the front slide is returned to its original position, its outward movement being limited by a buffer TV, carried by a bracket to, most clearly indicated in. Fig. 15.

As in the prior machine the spring catch is inserted in the socket before the edge of the-body portion of the socket is curled or doubled. Afterthe spring is inserted the spring carrying socket is blanked'out from the stock by the dies Q, Q, most clearlyv shown in Fig. 10. The upper dies comprise a hollow plunger 9', within which is a rod 9', whilethe lower die Q is hollow as indicated. hen the upper die carrier D descends the rod which is spring pressed, as indicated at 9 bears upon the central portion of the socket while the plunger 9 descends and blanks out the socketfromthe stock and it also moves the socket blank to a lower level in front of a slide Q1 which serves to move the socket laterally to a position between the finishing diesY, 'Y. The slide Q is provided with a. roller Q3 operating in a. slot 9 in a cam plate Q attached to the upper diecarrier D. At the proper time the slideis moved forward and transfers the socket to the anvil or lower die Yt When the die carrier moves downwards the curling punches operate to turn or double the edge of the socket around the peripheral portion of the spring catch and thus secure it in place. The socket member of the fastener is then complete and may be delivered from the machine to a discharge opening C in any suitable way, as by a blow pipe 0.

In Figures 28, 29 and 30 I have shown other mechanism for delivering the completed socket member from the curling dies. In this case a curved receiver 6 is carried by a flexible metal bar E attached to the frame of the machine and receives and transfers the completed spring-containing socket member to areceptacle e from which it may pass to any desired container.

,The dies for curling the edge of the socket member are in this case somewhat modified. The part 0 is rigidly attached to the die carrier while the-rod e is'not spring pressed as before and it extends upwards toward a bracket carrying an adjustable screw 0 to regulate the movement of the rod 6*. After the button or socket member has its edge curled over upon the spring it is squeezed into the punch or guide 6 which lifts the button and after the punch has been raised a certain distance which is regulated by the screw the rod c is stopped by the screw 6 and the button is ejected out of the curling punch and it drops onto the receiver cand then enters the receptacle 6 The receiver 6 is located immediately below the punches e c and above the anvil e but when the punches move downwards the receiver is moved sidewise .out of their way but assumes a position between the upper and lower punches .to receive the button or socket member when the latter is dropped.

Some of the details of construction shown in thedrawings have not been described because they are similar to those fully shown and described in the application of Huguley and Nelson before mentioned and some features which are shown in detail have likewise not been described as being of no special importance. I would say however that the chips or pieces of metal formed by the slotting dies H, II and the piercing dies J, J may be blown away by compressed air from the pipes h, the admission of air to said pipes being controlled by suitable mechanism H As will be evident from a comparison of the mechanism herein shown and described the devices for forming the button or socket member from the stock, for inserting the springs in said socket members, and for blanking them out from the stock are similar to those shown in the before mentioned application of l'luguley and Nelson. It is also evident that the devices for straightening the wire and for feeding it to the wire bending mechanism is similar to that before referred to, but the mechanism for bending the wire into spring form and for transferring the springs from the spring forming arbor to the spring holder, forming part of the spring inserting mechanism, is different, being much simpler and more efiicient.
